well well a midland birder having an overnight stay in norfolk.absolutely stunning day,after starting at Holme a nice few birds there including Bl.redstart,Brambling and other bits,we were deciding on where to move to after some Brekky,John (reader) suggested warham green,looked and sounded good,obvious big movement of Thrushes,stuff pouring over,john got some super close pics of Siskin,as we worked the bushes and hedgerows,pager signals OBP at stiffkey not far,so off we trot,but wow what a hike out to the gorse,think birders on ice,but replace with mud,eventually after brief flight views and calls,the bird performed fantastically,not diving into bushes,but padding along on the path revealing a wicked "sibe",also seen a fave of mine yellow browed warbler awsome close views attained,and an obvious big fall of crests ,but alas no Firecrest could be summoned from the flock,On way back to the car,V Vbrief views of what might of been a Pec sand,but not enough seen,i wanted to go to Yarmouth for the newly found Raddes warbler,but it was probably to far today,so back to warham green,parked at the end of track and started trying to sift thru a tit flock ,no joy,then john tells me the news i long to hear,"raddes" warham the pit,we walk the other way,and some friendly guy,dismayed we are not going for bird,tells is its the other way,we follow him,and the finder joyously tells us its showing well ,and it bloody did,this closes an agonising chase for my Bogey bird,cannot think how many i have nearly seen,but nailed Mr shwarzi at last.
Ps overnighting at the backpackers off for a nice meal and some beer...cheers
